Hello all,

I've been re-reading the classic Beebe and Clegg book "Narrow Gauge in the Rockies" over the past week, and in it there is a mention of General Palmer's private business car "Nomad," which at the time of the book's publication - 1958 - was reported as belonging to H.B. Wood and Ted M. White. The book states that Nomad was being restored on the D&RGW's private car track at Durango. As this was 60 years ago now, what is the current status of Nomad, and does it still exist?
